Library of Congress… Squeeeeee!

Thursday, March 18th, 2010 | Author: jmward14 | Blog | No Comments

The Library of Congress Science Fiction and Fantasy Forum has invited four Broad Universe members–Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Susan Avery, Christine Norris and me–for a Rapid Fire Reading at the Library’s Madison Building at 12:10 p.m., April 13.  You can see the details (and our neat flyer) here. 
This is not Broad Universe’s first RFR at the Library of Congress this year.  We were preceded by Catherine Asaro, Kelly A. Harmon, Ellen Kushner and Sue Lange earlier this month.  Which means we’ve got a tough act to follow.
I’m bringing Bai.
Hope to see you there!
Cheers,

You can now hear my voice, almost as if you were stuck next to me at a con.    I’m the second of four featured writers on the Women’s History Month edition of the Broad Universe Broad Pod podcast.  My readings are two of the very short stories at JeanMarieWard.com: "Clear as Glass" and "Green Eyes". The other readers are Phoebe Wray, Karen A. Romanko and Elissa Malcohn.
Broad Universe is an international organization of women and men dedicated to exploring and promoting the work of women writers in science fiction, fantasy and horror.  They’re the organization which sponsors the Rapid Fire Readings I’m so addicted to, including the one scheduled for the Library of Congress April 12.  But more about that tomorrow.  This post is all about the Pod, the Broad Pod.
Cheers,

Yeah, yeah. I know I owe you reports and photos for three conferences, but I couldn’t resist.

If you want to put it all together, you’ll have to check out Kelly Harmon’s opening Balticon blog.  And for more mememe, check out Gail Z. Martin’s podcast of the Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading.  Better yet, check it out for the other fabulous writers, including Gail and Kelly, whose stories I highly recommend.

Cheers,
